Gaza is just a distraction! The Christian genocide is still ongoing

Friar Whit, who directs the British-based Foundation for Relief and
Reconciliation in the Middle East, also wrote about the ongoing
extermination campaign the Islamic Caliphate is running.

"In reality that is true. Iraq seems like old news, yet things just get
worse and worse here," he said. "It is as if hell has broken out here
and nobody cares, that is, apart form you, our supporters, who never
leave us and keep supporting us in every way. The situation is so
serious and it is very easy to feel forgotten."

In late July the
Islamic State declared itself a Caliphate, and released videos depicting
mass executions, and warnings that this will continue. Christians, who
have been in Iraq for thousands of years were given three options:
convert to Sunni Islam, pay the jizya (a tax on non-Muslims) or leave.

"Even
here in Baghdad, people are terrified of what is happening around us,"
White added. "The Islamic State has established their hidden cells
within Baghdad, and people are seriously under threat even though they
are not in the areas controlled by the Islamic State. The number of
kidnappings here has soared, and people simply do not know what is going
to happen next."

Archbishop Maroun Lahham, a patriarchal vicar
for Jordan in the Latin Patriarchate sent out a plea for prayers for an
enduring Middle East peace during a special Mass held in the Jordanian
capital of Amman.

"The oppressors do not last. We ask God to
remove the fear from the hearts of the oppressors so as to become a
party that believes in peace and is capable of making peace," he said.

"What
is happening nowadays in Gaza in particular, and what is happening
every day in Iraq, Syria and Libya happened in the past and now is being
repeated-every time this situation is absolutely repeated without any
change," he added.
